	And the race is on! 98 published games for LTH, 98 published games for sproutcm and 94 for rockgolf. Who will be first to join Ben (554) and Booger (129) in triple digits???

	gwukelic:	Jan 29th, 2011 at 04:50 GMT	5 points
	@Hejman: Ben has 554 published quizzes?!? Now that's impressive.

	idledandy:	Jan 29th, 2011 at 06:00 GMT	4 points
	Got them all! The credit for getting Northern Marianas goes to my grandfather who was nearly killed in Saipan in WWII, because otherwise I'd never have heard of Northern Marianas.

	I was confusing the parks with the last issue of quarters. No, that can't be Ohio, Ohio had the Wright Brothers.

	frostynyc:	Jan 29th, 2011 at 14:06 GMT	1 point
	interesting that New Jersey would use a national monument that is not completely theirs to begin with

	Ultimecia:	Jan 29th, 2011 at 14:25 GMT	3 points
	Well made quiz, well done!

	eab21:	Jan 29th, 2011 at 15:14 GMT	4 points
	Somehow the "or territory" part of the title eluded me.

	pete32782:	Jan 29th, 2011 at 15:22 GMT	10 points
	I love how the treasury department keeps coming up with new things to put on our money to distract us from the fact that everyone has less of it.

	meowie:	Jan 29th, 2011 at 16:48 GMT	5 points
	@frostynyc: They were torn between Ellis Island and the Jimmy Hoffa Meadowlands Burial Grounds, but they finally had to choose.

	vegemighty:	Jan 29th, 2011 at 17:22 GMT	5 points
	Kind of lame of California to do a repeat from the original State Quarter. Joshua Tree or Redwood would have been better choices. Not that they are as beautiful as Yosemite...just that there is so much more to the state than Yosemite.

	aweshucks - Except that each site is chosen by a single state/territory for the coins meaning that each site represents only one state/territory in this series even if it stretches across multiple states in reality

	strags11:	Jan 29th, 2011 at 18:56 GMT	7 points
	@frostynyc: Well, we could have gone with the Pine Barrens National Reserve, which is beautiful, entirely in New Jersey, home of multiple National Historic Sites, and was in fact the first National Reserve in the U.S. However, that would have meant that the North Jerseyites (who are NYC-focused) would have had to acknowledge the existence of South Jersey (which is Philly/Wilmington-focused), plus they outnumber us 5 to 1, plus they're all still really miffed about the whole Cliff Lee thing. So, Ellis Island it was.

	But the quiz isn't asking what state the park is in, but which state's quarter it is located on. There isn't an alternate answer.

	lichenboy:	Jan 29th, 2011 at 22:48 GMT	4 points
	Great fun to listen to the New Yorkers and New Jerseyans continue to squabble over Ellis Island. (NJ's part is artificial landfill; both states share jurisdiction now, even though the whole island is federal property.) Reminds me of the first state quarter series with Ohio and North Carolina vying for credit over the Wright brothers' accomplishment. (In that case, NC taking credit for the first flight is like the moon taking credit for Armstrong's first walk.)

	Tough quiz... I only got 20 out of 56!

	EmYanks2001:	Jan 30th, 2011 at 03:19 GMT	4 points
	While I realize it's technically in Jersey, Ellis Island will always be considered NY, and NJ knows that and they're using a technicality on their side... Then again, we stole their Jets and Giants who play in Jersey, so I will never get it... great quiz and I even improved 1 point since last time lol

	PSUnited:	Jan 30th, 2011 at 16:16 GMT	4 points
	So despite the fact that our National Anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner", was written at Fort McHenry, only 32% of quiz takers know it's in Maryland.

	"Yogi, isn't Jellystone Park on a quarter?"

	tmonation:	Feb 3rd, 2011 at 05:15 GMT	0 points
	@lichenboy, so since Wilbur was born in Indiana than Indiana is half first in flight, pretty sure Armstrong made his first ever walk on earth, not on the moon, where as the first flight the wright brothers made was in NC

	The only one that stumped me was the national park of American Samoa.

	Skittsie13:	Mar 9th, 2011 at 23:43 GMT	3 points
	My thoughts about Saratoga National Historical Park in this quiz: "Oh, Sarasota is in Florida, which I already used for the Everglades. I'll skip this one." >.>

	Rachelkachel:	Jul 30th, 2011 at 05:43 GMT	2 points
	I'd've expected more people to get Arches, but I guess I'm biased.
